About Kamia
Kamia Esquerra is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with ten years of clinical experience. She helps people who are facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, trauma, and family conflict. Her work is practical and direct, aimed at helping clients find clearer ways forward in daily life.

Background and approach
Kamia draws from several methods to match the moment and the person. She uses client-centered conversation to make space for your concerns. She applies cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors.
Mindfulness and DBT strategies are used when managing strong emotions and building coping skills. Her background includes work with adoption and foster care concerns, attachment and blended family issues, and the fallout of abuse or domestic violence. She also supports people dealing with body image, eating-related problems, codependency, and difficulties stemming from family of origin patterns.
Kamia values straightforward communication about goals and progress. She helps people break big problems into smaller steps. The focus is on skills you can practice outside sessions and on steady, manageable change.
People who benefit most are those ready to try practical strategies and reflect on relationship patterns. Kamia aims to create a calm space for honest conversation and steady work toward better day-to-day coping.
How practical approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the client. In sessions this means the conversation follows your concerns and pace, helping you find clarity about relationships and parenting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions affect feelings. Online CBT sessions often include simple worksheets or behavior experiments to try between meetings to change upsetting patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and adapt techniques to fit your goals and daily life. This is a team effort - you and the therapist decide together which methods feel most useful and adjust them over time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and visual cues, while phone calls work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are handy for short check-ins, skill practice, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, and family commitments.
